my travel ideas
January 30, 2009 by Denz · Leave a Comment
Even though I love to travel, I haven’t been out of my country. To think that at my age I should be at least out to the nearest country to my homeland. In my mind, I want to travel to each country there will be. Of course I need a lot and lots of money to do that.
I already prepared my documents in preparation of my travel ideas. I want one of those tours to china. I’ve heard from my friend who has been there that the place is really beautiful. I don’t know if that stands true to my taste. It is up to me judge when I get there.
The question now is how much do I need. Will I be able to pay the expenses? My friend said that there are agencies that offer over 50s holidays around the globe for an affordable price. He gave me a contact info which I lost during transit last December. Lucky him he was able to experience an escorted tour to the best Cities of China for several days.
Pretty much of an adventure, I guess. I have been itching to get my hands on that contact info. Unfortunately, my Sim card even gave me a problem. I lost all my contact because it was also damaged when it was soak. I guess I really have to check China’s info on my own.
…joke time! (this is hilarious)

It was getting a little crowded in Heaven, so God decided to change the admittance policy. The new law was that in order to get into Heaven, you had to have a really awful day when you died. The policy would go into effect at noon the next day. The next day at 12.01pm, the first person came to the gates of Heaven. The Angel at the gate, remembering the new policy, said to the man,” Before I can let you in, you have to tell me what was happening in your life the day on which you died.”
“No problem”, the man said. “I came home to my 25th floor apartment during my lunch hour and found my wife half-naked. I thought she was having an affair but her lover was nowhere in sight. Immediately, I began searching for him. My wife was shouting at me as I searched the apartment.”
“Just as I was going to give up the search, I looked out onto the balcony and saw there was a man hanging over the edge by his fingertips! Well, I ran out onto the balcony and jumped on his fingers until he fell to the ground. But he landed in some bushes that broke his fall and he didn’t die!”
“I was so mad that I went back inside to fetch something that I could throw at him. Strangely, the first thing I thought of was the refrigerator. So I unplugged it, pushed it to the balcony and tipped over the side. It fell the 25 stories and crushed the man. Unfortunately all this excitement was too much and I had a heart attack and died instantly!”
The Angel sat and thought for a moment. Technically, the man did have a bad day. It was crime of passion. So he announced, “Okay, sir. Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven ,” and let him in.
A few seconds later the next person came up. The Angel said, “Before I can let you enter, I need to know what was happening to you on the day you died.”
“No problem”, said the second man. “But you are not going to believe this!”
“I was on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment doing my daily exercises. I had been under a lot of pressure, so I was really pushing hard to relieve my stress. I think I got a little carried away, slipped and accidentally fell over the side!”
“Luckily, I was able to catch myself by the fingertips on the balcony below mine. But suddenly, this crazy man comes running out of his apartment, swears at me, and jumps on my fingers! Well, I fell and just before I hit the ground, I landed in some trees or bushes which broke my fall. But I didn’t die immediately.”
“As I am lying there, looking up, unable to move, and in great pain, I notice the crazy man push his REFRIGERATOR off the balcony. It falls 25 floors and lands on top of me – killing me instantly!” The Angel is quietly laughing to himself as the man finishes his story.
“I think I like this new policy”, he says to himself. “Okay”, said the Angel to the second man. “Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven .”
And he lets the man in. A few seconds later, a third man comes up to the gates. The Angel says, “Please tell me how you died.”
The third man says, “You will never believe this. I am naked, hiding inside a refrigerator…”
perfect service for a party!

During this time and age, hosting a party will not be very difficult as you can find several services to make it a success in an instant. Just like my friend’s wedding reception last two years ago. Everyone in the party was really entertained because they hire a wedding bartender.
Aside from the band, the Bartenders for hire show off their skills in cocktail mixing that captures the guest’s attention. Everybody was impressed with the party and the couple have been receiving good feedback afterward. Good thing they were able to Find bartenders that answered their need. They give credits to them. And for today, they are still getting their services every time they held a party. I want to emulate the way they hold parties. It’s really perfect since I don’t have any skills in cocktail mixing.
future job interviews

Currently I am preparing myself for the future job interviews. I am just waiting for the good news before I could proceed to my career hunting. “Perfect” I say. I found this site that has jobs in finance. Not for me of course I am in the health industry. But for my friend who has transfer to a business course specifically finance when he can’t find himself in the health business. He has been job hunting and job hopping for quite a while. I hope that if he passed one of these jobs, he will stay so as to prove himself worthy for the company.
New Hope for Baldness?
January 28, 2009 by Denz · Leave a Comment
Base on the genetics research, they are getting closer to the heart of a problem that has plagued millions of men (and women) for thousands of years, the male-pattern baldness. A group of researchers, along with pharmaceutical company announced the discovery of a gene that increases the risk of male-pattern baldness.
This isn’t the first gene to show an association to the condition. A previously known gene on the X chromosome with a role in hormone reception has already been associated with male-pattern baldness. In fact, it’s often used as an example in biology class of a gene that men inherit from their mother, because the single X chromosome in a man comes from his mother. And that’s also why your father’s head of hair gives you little information about whether you’re prone to male-pattern baldness; your mother’s father is a better person to watch.
Researchers report that a person has certain variations of both the known gene and the newly discovered one, his (or her) risk of male-pattern baldness increases sevenfold. In fact, the study showed that among men with both gene variants, 14 percent are at “very high risk of androgenic alopecia”. The fancy phrase for male-pattern baldness and 50 percent are at “moderate risk”. In terms of the relative risk, if you have neither of the two genetic variants you can be about 95 percent sure you won’t suffer the hairless fate.
But still, there’s no absolute certainty in these, they are just probabilities. And that’s one of the problems with genetics research and gene variants, they rarely give us the whole picture of what’s going on inside our bodies. As a matter of fact, we see these kinds of gene discoveries all the time. They come in two varieties: Researchers have found the first gene associated with or researchers have found another gene that also seems to play a role in.
These developments are often newsworthy, but it’s always important to understand that any discovery is just a step on a staircase scientists climb all the time in order to advance our knowledge of health and medicine. It’s not going to affect immediate change. So, for now, the hirsute hostility continues atop my head, and the head of so many others. All we can hope for is that our follicles will stand their ground like Spartans of the scalp.
